Springfield Cardinals top Travelers in extra innings

Cards win in 10th inning

Sunday: The Cardinals wasted no time cracking a 1-1 tie in extra innings, scoring two runs in the top of the 10th. With the bases loaded and one down, CF Tommy Pham placed an RBI single just inside the foul line past first base, and DH Ruben Gotay followed with an RBI groundout.

Key performances: RHP Richard Castillo logged his third quality start in four tries, lasting six innings with just one run allowed in the no-decision. RHP Deryk Hooker picked up where Castillo left off, dealing a season-high three scoreless relief innings to record the win.
